I don't know why mine was posted twice.  I only sent one message.  Maybe
it's a problem with the server.

I only sent my reposts once... and I only got them back once- on one
account.  I'm subscribed to the FFML from two accounts, and ONE of them has
been getting duplicate post not just on my reposts and Adam's initial post,
but on a few other things as well.  It does not appear to be happening with
all posts, however...

(one possibility which I discovered during an earlier incident- if the
server is rebooted in the middle of posting things out to people, it will
start over from the beginning of the list... meaning the people at the top
of the list will recieve duplicate posts, and the people at the bottom of
the list will only recieve it once.  My main account is towards the bottom
of the list, but my backup is closer to the top...)

I will NOT be suspending the Refuge Reposts unless this becomes a serious
problem.  And I suggest that any FURTHER discussion of duplicate posts be
made directly to the admins- if this is a list problem, they will try to fix
it.  If this is a problem with the specific person, then most likely they
will try to talk to them.

(And no, I am NOT an admin... even if I do get asked a lot of admin
questions about this list.  *sigh*)
